Welcome

Knowledge leads the way

With Covid-19, we have a new infection among us that generates chronic disease; Long Covid.

Several of the patients fulfil the diagnostic criteria for ME, thus linking these patient groups together.

ME is a serious illness that also affects children and young people. The most mildly affected lose at least 50% of their previous level of function. Many patients are either housebound or bedridden. The very sickest spend years in dark rooms and are completely dependent on nursing care.

In most cases, the disease has started in the wake of an infection.

ME has been poorly understood and we don't know how best to treat the disease. This is a source of great frustration for both healthcare professionals and patients.

Due to its large scale, Long Covid is now one of the diseases that the international community is investing heavily in gaining more knowledge about.

Such increased research efforts, more professionals in the field and more experience gained in the clinic offer hope for a better future for these patients and more tools for the healthcare system to help.

This conference will give you an insight into recent research as well as experiences from clinical practice. We have brought together some of the biggest names in the field, both in this country and abroad, to bring you up to date with the latest developments in infection-induced chronic disease.

We hope that many healthcare professionals will make the trip to the full-day conference on 7 May and welcome everyone to the open evening conference on 8 May 2025.

Welcome to Norway's largest conference on ME and Lang Covid in Stavanger in May 2025!
